Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion is found in ~3%–5% of patients with non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Although the third-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) lorlatinib shows high clinical efficacy in ALK-positive NSCLC, most of the

Gilteritinib overcomes lorlatinib resistance in ALK-rearranged cancer
Resistance to ALK inhibitors such as lorlatinib often arise due to on-target mutations. Here, the authors show the multi-kinase inhibitor gilteritinib is effective against different mutations that arise during lorlatinib in ALK fusion positive lung ...

The Impact of the CTHRSSVVC Peptide Upon Experimental Models of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
Chagas disease (CD), caused by the hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, affects more than six million people worldwide and presents an unsatisfactory therapy, based on two nitroderivatives, introduced in clinical medicine for decades.

Approximately 15–30% of patients with lung cancer harbor mutations in the EGFR gene. Major EGFR mutations (>90% of EGFR-mutated lung cancer) are highly sensitive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Many uncommon EGFR mutations have been identified,

Lonidamine Causes Inhibition of Angiogenesis-Related Endothelial Cell Functions
The aim of this study was to assess whether lonidamine (LND) interferes with some steps in angiogenesis progression. We report here, for the first time, that LND inhibited angiogenic-related endothelial cell functions in a dose-dependent manner (1-50 μg ...

Multiscale modelling of cancer progression and treatment control : the role of intracellular heterogeneities in chemotherapy treatment [PDF]
Cancer is a complex, multiscale process involving interactions at intracellular, intercellular and tissue scales that are in turn susceptible to microenvironmental changes.

Background Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion genes are found in 3%–5% of non‐small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). ALK inhibitors show a very high response rate to ALK‐positive NSCLCs. However, the emergence of acquired resistance is inevitable.
